Description
Describe the enhancement
It would be amazing if the runner would would on a Raspberry Pi Zero because these have enough computing power for many batch-type jobs and test scripts. They're also extremely energy efficient.
Additional information
Currently, the runner code (Linux ARM) crashes for configuration and run.sh. It's apparently out of memory. The runner, though, seems to use far less than 512MB RAM when actually running. I suspect there's something in the initialization code which temporarily uses a lot of RAM.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Linux ARM failure on a Raspberry Pi Zero with 512MB RAM, focusing on configuration and run.sh during initialization. Compare memory use during startup with memory use while the runner is active. Done means the runner initializes and runs successfully within the available memory.
